Completely choked and bombed another OA. Advice on bouncing back and mastering this? (Besides mock interviews)

I studied and LeetCode grinded for DAYS before taking this OA. And I ended up bombing it. Was just completely lost and failed. How do you master DSA to the point in which you just naturally figure out the problem?

Any advice? What are strategies you recommend and possible reading material to utilize?

xWF recruiter from Google reached out to move forward and rejected a few days later. Is this common?

I applied to roles at Google and after a few days I received an email from a recruiter with an xWF email stating they're excited to move forward. A few days later, I get rejected for the role without even a recruiter call.

Is this common? It's a dream of mine to land Google and it seems my resume and experience isn't good enough despite working as a SWE at a Fortune 500 company.

What is the best way to understand Greedy algorithms?

I'm currently studying DSA one concept at a time and there hasn't been a topic that's confusing me as much as Greedy. I know the basic approach of greedy, pick the optimal decision at the present, but it's soooo confusing especially problems like Jump Game or Gas Station.

Does anyone have any advice on how to tackle Greedy problems and how to recognize?
